Kamal Haasan calls police action on protesting students a mistake

Even as police swung into action to bring to an end the protests over the ban on Jallikattu on Monday morning, several people took to Twitter to put out their opinions.

Among them was actor Kamal Haasan, who tweeted, “This is a mistake. Aggressive police action on students passive resistance will not bear good results.”

The actor had earlier tweeted, ” People at long last are getting a taste of true democracy. Gone are the days of leaders. We need humble pathfinders & social reformers. American areated drink makers might be tempted to sponser jallikattu. Beware! “
